I love working with people. That's my passion it takes patients and communication skills and most importantly being present. I have been a caregiver for over five plus years and something I will continue to do.

I became a CAREGIVER because I have a natural instinct to help others. I feel that it's a "Calling". And I thoroughly enjoy working with the elderly, and hearing their stores. A personal achievement that I am proud of is being recognized with a Heart N Hands Award for my service to my elderly clients. I moved from California to Tennessee in 2003. After working in a Distribution Center for almost 2 years, I became a CAREGIVER and have been employed as such for over 10 years. I have an outgoing personality and get along well with others. I am also a woman of Faith. My hobbies are reading, crafting, live theater, etc. I have alot of experience as a Professional Caregiver and would love to help with your loved one!

I am a 28-year-old female, living in Russellville, KY. Growing up my mother worked in Assisted Living Homes as an RN, I would go to work with her and spend many hours with the elderly residents. I would soon know that I was meant to work with the elders in life. Since then, I have worked in an assisted living home, a hospital and sat with a few families as well. Today I spend most of my time helping my own Grandmother with her day-to-day activities.

I have always had a desire for helping people especially the elderly. It's been a very rewarding career choice that I have always enjoyed doing. Knowing that I can help promote a person's well being towards maintaining their independence is rewarding to me. When I worked with a dementia client, helped to recall some of her memories through writing and reading exercises.
